I rate tackling affectiveness on the first guy into the tackle. Out best is JDB by a country mile, Lawrie is also good, may add Sele after that performance, whereas Eisenhuth is mostly second even third in.

Eisenhuth for mine or Faitai- Mariner, our two poorest metre eaters.

Warriors had it over us first 20 mins but some rock hard line defense defused the danger. Shout out to Flanagan who saved a certain four pointer which would have had em 12 up.

Early on last night, Eisenhuth was making the tackles but not effectively. As the game went on and their big forwards slowed down, his tackling became more and more effective. As
jodragon40 pointed out, that means JDB for example doesn't have to be the fireman, always responding to problems but be fresher to use his running game and offload.

No reason to give him a shout out for that. Decent 5/8s should and do make those tackles. Though Amone probably wouldn't have judging by what he served up under Griffin.

Not our 5/8s. Never expect the sook to make a tackle like that.

Agree. You see I edited the messages. Amone wasn't a decent 5/8. Hunt is almost always defending closer in. Wouldn't be called upon to make standard tackles like that one.

Flanagan how the effing hell do you replace Zac you drongo. What a five mins he had either side of the break, a two point field goal and then his magical sprint, take and dive try.

Best game of season 7/10. Best play was noting that Sloan was in space allowing the flier to put on the after burners to ice the game.

May have gone unnoticed by some but the defensive work done by Suli and Flanagan down the r/edge end zone was invaluable.

Fox had him with 47, was ineffective first stanza early but then first in much more after that. Did some good tidying up on our line too. But hey he is only using half his assets as the other middles are covering for his lack of attack.
I was impressed by Sele, strong with his carries and a hit hard round the legs tackler. Has he been watching Jack all these years.

Bird to fly away and Zac to remain at centre with Christian T the new wing. He, Rava and Suli make three powerhouse outside backs.

You're a hard marker re RFM. Right about Eisenhuth but to have him in the middle helps the better attacking players in my view.

Didn't RFM get a lot of run metres, at least one line break, lots of tackles for very few misses?

Finau on the wing for me. If he plays well in NSW Cup today.

Tyrell 7, Zac 6, the comps leading try scorers.

Fataila-Mariner or Eisenhuth.

Me too mate but Flanagan dont seem to rate him. Same with most of those blokes that came here before him. Take a gander at his miserable face in the box ,even tho we were home.

Had his best game for us, but his metres run is still under what he should be giving us.
